8 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 8 Weeks

Size of baby:
about the size of a raspberry!

Total Weight Gain:  I haven't weighed myself.  I'm scared to, I definitely have a baby bump already.

Maternity Clothes:
Nothing, yet.  But I'm getting close. 

Gender: We aren't finding out.  We think it's a boy. Murrays only have boys!

Movement: Way too early to feel movement.  I didn't feel Jack until 21 or 22 weeks.

Sleep: I'm sleeping terrible because of Jack, completely unrelated to pregnancy.

What I miss:
Sleep.   And being able to eat like a normal person.  I have been not feeling well in the evenings and I found out it's because I need to eat.   If I eat all night long, I feel fine.  I'm going to gain 100 lbs. 

Cravings: Sprite, raw vegetables and chicken salad.  I found the BEST recipe for chicken salad. 

Symptoms: Random pregnancy sickness, fatigue, round ligament pain, clogged ears, vivid dreams

Best Moment this week: Finding out that all I have to do is eat and I will feel better.  Oh, and making a really delicious chinese dinner!    We love Chinese food and now we don't have to order it!
